Trump Tears Into Lawmaker Over Her Husband's Funeral

[Jilly_in_VA]

Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) on Tuesday evening, alleging that she wasn’t sufficiently thankful to him over arrangements he’d made for her husband’s funeral.

The former president did not say what had prompted his Truth Social tirade against the “LOSER” congresswoman, though his furious post came after she publicly criticized his “ROT IN HELL” Christmas message.

Earlier on Tuesday, Dingell said during a CNN appearance that Trump’s festive message was “one of the most pathetic Christmas greetings I’ve heard, when a former President of the United States who wants to return [to office] tells people on Christmas Day that they can ‘rot in hell.’” She went on to accuse Trump of contributing to the division in America and said that “there were men outside of my house with assault weapons” after the Republican previously “went after” her.

“Debbie Dingell of Michigan is a LOSER,” Trump wrote in his post Tuesday, accusing her of helping “Crooked Joe Biden” to “DESTROY our Country.” He went on to criticize the congresswoman for her actions following the February 2019 death of her husband, former Rep. John Dingell.

He's such a LOSER!

1. Did she forget the Diarrhea Donny is the corpse at every funeral?

[TSExile]

9. That quote is attributed to Alice Roosevelt.

She said that her dad, President Teddy, had to be "the bride at every wedding, the baby at every christening and the corpse at every funeral". That same description fits T**** to a tee.

[Maru Kitteh]

32. Thank you for that historical tidbit.

[TSExile]

33. You're welcome.

I've read about the life of Alice. She was a trip. I would have liked to know her!!

[Bayard]

2. Wait a minute....

He arranged her husband's funeral?

Not believing this:

“When I gave, as President, her long serving husband, the absolute highest U.S. honors for his funeral, a really big deal, she called me, crying almost uncontrollably, to say that she couldn’t believe I was willing to do that for a Democrat,” Trump wrote. “She thanked me profusely. Two months later, she was back on the trail ranting and raving about ‘TRUMP.’”

3. Trump always wants to be fondled when he does the right and expected thing.

[2naSalit]

6. Isn't it...

The House Speaker who arranges for members' funerals or at least in part?

[yardwork]

7. Tears in her eyes...

[Hekate]

25. "Sir" she said

[Trueblue1968]

34. He is a Liar !!!!!! No one he talks to EVER calls him sir. Folks does respect donald rump.

[progressoid]

12. Are you saying that Trump is a liar?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/

Trump's false or misleading claims total 30573 over 4 years

When The Washington Post Fact Checker team first started cataloguing President Donald Trump’s false or misleading claims, we recorded 492 suspect claims in the first 100 days of his presidency. On Nov. 2 alone, the day before the 2020 vote, Trump made 503 false or misleading claims as he barnstormed across the country in a desperate effort to win reelection.

This astonishing jump in falsehoods is the story of Trump’s tumultuous reign. By the end of his term, Trump had accumulated 30,573 untruths during his presidency — averaging about 21 erroneous claims a day....

[sakabatou]

35. That's over 20 lies per day ON AVERAGE during his tenure.

[CloudWatcher]

14. "Not believing this"

Yes, Trump saying something is decent evidence for the opposite being true. He's not just a liar, he's almost incapable of telling the truth.

[3catwoman3]

27. IIRC, Trump agreed to Dingell's body lying in state in the Capitol.

I think that was the extent of his involvement, and I doubt it was his idea. Probably encouraged by someone in the protocol office.

He first complained about this in 2019, when Dingell died, so he’ still nursing a grudge, as he always does.

[Maraya1969]

31. Yes and it was very out of character of him and he has ragged on her before for not bowing down low enough in front

of him

[chowder66]

4. It isn't sufficient enough because he did far less for his ex-wife who is buried in the weeds.

[erronis]

13. But she's nicely packaged with lots of papers for safe-keeping.

[chowder66]

17. Probably.

[moondust]

5. "our Country"

By "our Country" I'm pretty sure he means HIM PERSONALLY. By equating himself with "our Country" any criticism or criminal charge against HIM is an attack on "our Country" and must be condemned and stopped!

Narcissism gone wild.

[VMA131Marine]

8. Trump thinks

if he does anything nice for you, no matter how small, then you are indebted to him for life. But he has no sense of loyalty at all.

[tanyev]

10. He's a horrible, horrible person.

[Beastly Boy]

11. No comment from the vicinity of the first hole at the Bedminster golf club.

[eppur_se_muova]

21. No expense spared there. nt

[Marcuse]

24. Junior! Eric! Go mow your Mom!

[dmr]

36. That is just sad.

Her children ought to be ashamed of themselves. Seriously.

Certainly she couldn't expect luxury, yet I imagine she never thought her final resting days would end up in squalor, either.

[machoneman]

15. Only thing missing is when she started out saying "Sir......." What a classic ass he is!

[sarge43]

16. Did Congressman Dingell have military honors during his funeral?

If so, then Rump had nothing to do with it. One more time, if the deceased were an honorably discharged or released veteran, then inclusion of the honors are entirely up to his survivors, 10 U.S. Code 1491. Dingell served in the Army during WWII, released as a 2Lt. Damn right a member of the Greatest Generation deserved that honor.

What a POS that creep is.

[twodogsbarking]

18. If tfg did what he said it was not to be kind or caring.

[IbogaProject]

19. A hope for when the Turd passes.

I hope that we collectively decide to omit giving his rotten corpse a chance to lay in state. I hope all that are scared of his MAGAT crew just all collectively breathe a sigh of relief and decide to snub him publicly very belatedly.

[bmichaelh]

20. Trump also attacked Cindy McCain

He also attacked Cindy McCain for similar reasons

There is a whole page in Brothers Karamazov that describes liars that also applies to Trump.

"A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him...often the first to take offense."

[Emile]

22. I will be glad when that no good piece of shit

is behind bars.

[perdita9]

23. And yet the Evangelicals keep supporting this ill-mannered tyrant

No wonder I became an atheist

Former President Trump hit back at Rep. Debbie Dingell’s (D-Mich.) criticism of his “rot in Hell” Christmas message, calling her a “loser” in the latest in a string of insults aimed at the lawmaker and her family.

“Debbie Dingell of Michigan is a LOSER, who is helping Crooked Joe Biden, and his Merry Band of Thugs, to DESTROY our Country with his INSANE Open Borders Policy, Inflation, High Cost Energy, Green New Scam, HORRIBLE WORLD DIPLOMACY, Afghanistan Catastrophe, All Electric Cars, and so much else,” Trump wrote Tuesday in a Truth Social post.

Trump’s comments came hours after Dingell appeared on CNN and tore into the former president’s message on Christmas Day, when he called for various people he sees as “looking to destroy” the country to “rot in Hell.”

Asked on CNN if things are getting worse in terms of threats against public servants, Dingell said, “They’re deteriorating and they’re getting worse. … Quite frankly, I’m going to tell you that I think it was one of the most pathetic Christmas greetings I’ve heard when a former president of the United States, who wants to return, tells people on Christmas Day that they ‘can rot in hell.’”.....

Dingell on Tuesday said the former president is “contributing to the divisiveness [and] division” in the nation and brought up Trump’s attacks against her in years past.

30. "Swirling feud"??

My money's on Debbie Dingell, by knock out, first round.

[louis-t]

28. I foresee some errant shots and big divots on the grave soon.

Everyone knows he can't hit the ball straight.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

29. "...she called me, crying almost uncontrollably..."

What an asshole.
